Xbox launches Barbie-themed console, dolls and race cars
Gamers and Barbie fans can all agree on one thing - life in plastic is fantastic. In that spirit, Xbox and Barbie have announced a brilliant new collaboration.
The joint effort to promote the new film came with both companies adding creative new merch to both of their lines. Microsoft has revealed a Barbie-themed Xbox Series S, Xbox Barbie dolls, and Barbie-themed cars for Forza Horizon 5.
You can expect a variety of new controller skins, all created on-theme to match Barbie and Ken's outfits worn in the movie.
Xbox also added Barbie's signature pink car - which in the movie is a classic 1956 Chevrolet Corvette EV Corvette - to the Forza Horizon 5 racing game. You can even catch a ride on Ken's custom designed 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup in the game.
